This case report details a novel technique for protecting surgical wounds after torus palatinus removal in edentulous patients. A custom vacuum-formed splint, created from a study model, effectively shields the post-operative site.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Dental Prosthetics
  • Surgical Techniques

Context:

  • Torus palatinus removal is a common procedure in dentistry.
  • Protecting the surgical site post-palatal torectomy is crucial for healing.
  • Edentulous arches present unique challenges for wound management.

Purpose:

  • To describe a simple and effective method for protecting the surgical wound after torus palatinus removal.
  • To introduce a custom-designed vacuum-formed splint for post-operative wound management.
  • To demonstrate the utility of study models in fabricating protective oral appliances.

Summary:

  • A case report involving an edentulous patient requiring torus palatinus removal.
  • A post-operative splint was fabricated using a vacuum-formed technique on a study model.
